What's this?

This is a brand new PCB for your NES controller that allows it to use Goofy-Foot bindings, or a fully assembled NES controller with Goofy-Foot bindings.

Who is this for?

Goofy-Foot bindings are popular amongst two groups of people: left-handed people, and top-level NES Tetris players. They effectively flip the controller so that the D-Pad is meant to be used with your right hand, and the buttons are meant to be used with the left. Great for lefties, and great for high-level NES Tetris play if you want to use your right hand for rolling or tapping.

If you're one of those two kinds of people, this product might be for you!

Available Configurations

• Assembled Board: Exactly what it sounds like. A fully assembled board with a new cable (about 6ft in length). No soldering required, only a screwdriver!

Note: Depending on your controller, you may need to either sand down the center post of the D-Pad plastic or not tighten the screws on the side of the D-Pad all the way. If you're having sensitivity issues, give those methods a try.

• Full Original Controller: The gold standard. A fully assembled controller using an original shell/cable with new membranes.

Note: I receive these controllers in varying condition. I do my best to clean them up, but if you order an original, you won't get a controller in perfect condition.

• Full Original Controller (Heavily Worn): These controllers have very heavy wear. Examples of wear include deep scratches, torn faceplates, cracked plastic, and heavy yellowing.

For every full controller I sell...

...I will make sure that it's usable for high level NES Tetris. The way I do this is by first replacing original membranes with new ones, then slightly cutting the rubber to reduce the actuation force of the buttons to a suitable level (if necessary), and then sanding down the center-post of the D-Pad plastic slightly in order to make it easier for inputs to be registered, if necessary of course.

TL;DR: Any controller I sell will be great for NES Tetris, and will feel great even if you don't play NES Tetris!

Overview of different bindings

• Goofy Foot is the default option. Along with flipping the D-Pad and Start/Select buttons, it flips the A/B buttons from the normal configuration, so they'll feel the right way around when the controller is turned upside down.
• Goofy Foot (Normal A/B) - Goofy Foot, except it keeps the button bindings normal, with the A button closest to the edge. You might like this if you're used to bending your thumb to jump in Super Mario Bros while pressing B, for example.
• Normal - Completely normal NES controller bindings.

Additionally, there are reference images for both the Goofy Foot and Goofy Foot (Normal A/B) bindings.
